After he completes his video review of Monday's "situational" scrimmage, Cal coach Jeff Tedford will have a clear idea of his two-deep depth chart for the 2010 season.

The 90-minute semi-scrimmage at Memorial Stadium marked the last practice of Cal's camp. Tedford will announce starters and their backups Thursday, after a two-day hiatus for the players to get back their legs for the start of their regular-season regimen of morning practices.

Tedford did jump the gun a little when he confirmed the obvious: True freshman Keenan Allen will start at one wide receiver opposite Marvin Jones, and sophomore Marc Anthony seems to have held off promising freshman Steve Williams to earn the starting left-cornerback job.

"Marc Anthony has had one of the most solid camps," Tedford said. "He made spectacular plays, he did a good job of tackling in the open field and he did a good job on pass defense."

Other than Allen and Anthony, Monday was a day for the younger players to make their case for playing time.

"We tried to get a lot of situations done and let a lot of young guys play," the coach said. "We did not play some guys. Kevin Riley did not play. We had Shane (Vereen) play. He needs game conditions. Shane was fine - a little rusty. He should have punched one in on the goal line. We like to see him get in the end zone. It was 4th-and-1. The practice did him good."

Vereen, Cal's starting tailback, had missed much of camp with a tight hamstring. He seems on track to go in the opener, Sept. 4 against UC Davis.

Let the fun continue: To give his players a break today, Tedford is holding a "Football Olympics" at the stadium.

Featured events include offensive linemen attempting to field punts fired from the Juggs machine, receivers and defensive backs playing toss-and-catch with water balloons, freshmen flipping tires in a relay contest and the always-popular tug-of-war.

Tug-of-war was actually an official event in the Olympic Games at one time long ago.

Briefly: Tedford said guard Matt Summers-Gavin is "close" to returning to practice from his bruised knee bone. ... Safety Sean Cattouse has returned to drills after missing time with a hamstring condition. ... Also returning to practice was nose guard Derrick Hill, who had been sidelined with gout.
